Crash first aid — Louisiana Permit Test
Crash first aid on the Louisiana permit test — 4 rules, each with the reason behind it and a question on it while it is fresh.
The rules
To stop bleeding after a crash, place a clean cloth over the wound.
Pressure from a clean cloth slows the blood loss until trained help arrives.
To stop bleeding, place a clean cloth over the wound.
Do not move an injured person unless there is immediate life-threatening danger, because movement could cause more injury.
A hidden neck or back injury can become far worse if the person is lifted the wrong way.
Do not move the injured person unless there is immediate life threatening danger.
If an injured person is bleeding from the lower face or jaw, turn them on their side, and do not give fluids.
Lying on the side lets blood drain from the mouth so the person does not choke.
If the person is bleeding from the lower part of the face or jaw, turn him or her on his or her side.
Do not take an injured person to the hospital yourself unless there is no other way to get help.
With serious injuries, moving someone the wrong way in a car can do more harm.
You should not try to take an injured person to the hospital yourself unless there is no other way to get help.
On the test
An injured person at a crash is bleeding. What should you do?
Place a clean cloth over it. Pressure from a clean cloth slows the blood loss until trained help arrives. Class D & E Driver's Guide, p.120: “To stop bleeding, place a clean cloth over the wound.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
What it costs
- One payment, once — not a subscription. Nothing renews and there is nothing to cancel, for an exam you sit one time.
- Free to start: a 10-question test and the first section of cards. No sign-up and no account.
- Paying opens the rest of the cards, unlimited full-length practice tests, and retests built from exactly the questions you got wrong.
- Every level up to Prepared — 3 tests passed in a row.
- Do the work, fail the real exam, and we refund you.
